Eric M Wallace, DDS

Had a broken molar that Dr Wallace extracted and set a post all in one visit. Very good Surgeon I would use or recommend again… but hopefully not to soon lol.

I am so happy that Dr. Wallace’s office was listed on my insurance. I couldn’t have had a better experience and I feel like most people don’t say that when you get your wisdom teeth pulled. Honestly, I wish I could see Dr. Wallace for routine appointments like cleanings and such because I have yet to find a dentist who displays the amount of care and professionalism as Dr. Wallace.
I am deathly afraid of needles. Seriously. I will cry and cry, push and shove once a needle comes near me. He was extremely patient and empathetic when it came to my fear. He offered to write me a prescription for a low dose anxiety med to take the night before my procedure and although I declined the offer, the fact that he offered made me feel as if he truly understood my fear and wanted to help me the best he could.
During my consultation he got some x-​rays (if I recall correctly, he had very advanced x-​ray machines) and talked to me about the procedure and was so incredibly patient in answering all my questions. I never once felt rushed or as if someone had an appointment after me, which I’m sure there was. I was only seeing him for two of my wisdom teeth because I had gotten the other two removed previously but I had a far better experience with Dr. Wallace. I learned way more about wisdom teeth and everything you could possibly know about the procedure which put me at ease.
The day of my procedure, I was shaking and terrified of the thought of the IV. He sat me down and gave me some gas (I think, that day is a little foggy). After I was feeling more relaxed, he told me he was going to put the IV in my arm and asked me to tell him something (lol, I have no clue what he asked me to tell him, but it was probably a story or counting something). I was balling and I mean balling. There were a few other people in the room and they were holding my hands and telling me that everything was going to be ok (which does very little for my fear but so happy they did it). He then waited for me to relax a little and put the IV in only when I was ready. I appreciate his patience so so much. I can’t even begin to tell you how thankful I am for such an understanding oral surgeon.
I woke up, disoriented and still crying about the needle. He helped my roommate take me out to my car and told her everything she needed to know and some rules for her.
It’s now been a year since I got my wisdom teeth out and I’m still so happy with my care. I experienced very little pain and although I had some side effects to the medication I was prescribed, I was able to make an appointment the next day to go and see Dr. Wallace and was assured that everything looked normal and slight pain and side effects can be expected.
I am only here for school but if I ever need dental surgery, I would probably make the drive to Dr. Wallace’s office.
The receptionists are very helpful and were able to answer any questions I had regarding billing and insurance stuff.
The office is small but has its charm.
Almost every guest that I had seen come out of a surgery while waiting for an appointment was treated with great care by the doctor.
I loved that every time I went to that office, I spoke to Dr. Wallace himself and not an assistant or someone else. It made my surgery very personable and made me more comfortable.
Would recommend Dr. Wallace to anyone in need of dental care.

Dr Wallace came in on a weekend to help my daughter with her mouth. She was in a lot of pain and he was great. I highly recommend him.

I won’t write a lengthy review here, though I could. Dr. Wallace is a passionate practitioner, who utilizes the latest technology and at the same time provides a small office feel. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I have a lot of dealings w Eric and he is a friend. He has treated my son after a serious dental injury, my mother– who required nunneries implants due to the ravages of chemotherapy on her jaw bone density and another relative who also had implant procedures there. Of all of these important interactions, Dr. Wallace receives 5-​stars.

Great front office, great oral surgeon. I had an extraction with NO PAIN. I’m serious about that. I’m not even sure how that’s even possible, but that was my experience. And in speaking to friends who went to Dr. Wallace, they had the similarly positive experiences.
Let’s face it… none of us want to have something yanked out of our faces. But, if you need to have that done, Dr. Wallace seems to be the best oral surgeon in SB.
Dr. Wallace’s office staff was friendly, helpful and efficient with dealing with my dental insurance and my consultation and actual extraction with Dr. Wallace was more than I’d expected or hoped for; the consultation put my fears to rest and the extraction was painless and fast. My recovery was painless, uneventful and easy. Wish I’d known about him before!

Thank you Dr Wallace and staff! You are all just wonderful & you made everything so easy!

Already posted a tip but again he is an awesome doctor. The procedure was painless and he was very sensitive to the fact that I was scared at having a tooth pulled. Made me feel comfortable and had no paid during the procedure at all. He is great. I found him on Unilocal. Thanks to everyone who posted great reviews otherwise I would never have found him. Wish he could be my regular dentist. :)

I’ve spent the better part of 2013 dealing with bone grafts and implants. Dr Wallace is THE man when it comes to doing an amazing job with great care. Everyone in the office is genuine and are a great help with making any accommodations. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you need any sort of oral surgery

I had an Extraction and Socket preservation yesterday. Dr Eric Wallace did an amazing job! I still haven’t felt any pain. During surgery I was awake and I felt nothing. Today the day after I don’t have any discomfort. I definitely recommend Dr Wallace to anyone who needs Oral Surgery.
